Sorry, I don't understand quite what you mean. Going from discrete-time to discrete events complicates real-time running and visualisation but I don't see what effect just moving to a real-valued schedule has. yours, rob -- Rob Alexander (E-mail: [log in to unmask]) Research Associate, Dept of Computer Science, The University of York, York, YO10 5DD, UK Tel: 01904 432792 Fax: 01904 432708
